Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Repair Services Across Kent & the South East
As part of our control panel services, we carry out basic PCB fault diagnosis and repairs for industrial control systems and automation equipment. Where practical, repairing a faulty circuit board can provide a cost-effective alternative to replacement, helping to reduce downtime and unnecessary expense. If a board cannot be repaired safely or economically, we can source and install a suitable replacement.

Industrial PCB Repair
Industrial equipment can rely on printed circuit boards for control, monitoring, power management and other electrical functions.When a PCB fails, it may affect machinery or other equipment and cause disruption to normal operations.We provide industrial PCB repair in Maidstone for suitable applications.This can include PCBs used within:• Industrial machinery
• Control panels
• Electrical equipment
• Manufacturing equipment
• Automation-related equipment
• Industrial control systems
• Specialist electrical equipmentWhere possible, we will assess the PCB and determine whether a repair is practical before recommending replacement.
PCB Component Replacement
A PCB fault may be caused by an individual component rather than the entire circuit board.Where practical, we can investigate and replace suitable faulty components.Components may include:• Relays
• Capacitors
• Resistors
• Diodes
• Fuses
• Connectors
• Switches
• Other suitable electronic or electrical componentsThe specific component and repair method will depend on the PCB design and fault identified.
PCB Track and Connection Repairs
Damage to PCB tracks or connections can prevent electrical signals or power from reaching the appropriate parts of the circuit.Where the damage is suitable for repair, we can investigate and carry out appropriate PCB rework.This can include:• Damaged track investigation
• Suitable track repairs
• Solder joint repairs
• Connection repairs
• Component re-soldering
• Inspection of PCB connectionsNot every damaged PCB can be economically or reliably repaired, so the condition of the board will need to be assessed first.
PCB Repair for Industrial Equipment
When a piece of industrial equipment stops operating, the PCB may be one possible cause, but it is important to establish whether the fault actually originates from the circuit board.Our approach can include:• Discussing the symptoms with you
• Inspecting the equipment and PCB where appropriate
• Identifying potential electrical faults
• Testing relevant circuits
• Assessing the PCB
• Identifying defective components where possible
• Advising on repair or replacementThis helps avoid replacing a circuit board unnecessarily when another part of the electrical system may be responsible for the problem.
When Should a PCB Be Repaired or Replaced?
Not every circuit board is suitable for repair. The most appropriate option depends on the condition of the PCB, the nature of the fault, availability of components and the equipment in which the board is used.Repair may be considered where:• A specific component has failed
• A suitable component is available
• Damage is limited and repairable
• PCB tracks can be suitably repaired
• The board is otherwise in reasonable conditionReplacement may be more appropriate where:• The PCB is extensively damaged
• Suitable components are unavailable
• The board is beyond economical repair
• The original PCB is obsolete
• A reliable replacement is availableWe can assess the available options and explain our findings before further work is carried out.

PCB Repair – FAQs
A: PCB repair involves investigating and repairing faults on a printed circuit board. Depending on the fault, this may involve component replacement, soldering, connection repairs or suitable PCB track repairs.
A: Yes. We provide PCB fault finding and repair services in Maidstone and the surrounding areas for suitable industrial, commercial and electrical equipment.
A: Some damaged circuit boards can be repaired, depending on the type and extent of the damage. We can assess the PCB and advise whether repair is practical.
A: Where appropriate, we can investigate and replace suitable faulty components. The availability of replacement components and the design of the PCB will affect whether a component-level repair is possible.
A: This depends on the fault, condition of the board, availability of components and cost of repair. We can assess the PCB and explain whether repair or replacement appears to be the more appropriate option.
A: We can investigate and repair suitable industrial control boards and PCBs. The repair options will depend on the equipment, circuit board design and nature of the fault.
